Active since 1993, Erosie has developed a totally unique style that in his own words “...looks for parallels between and the nuances of the graffiti-codes, the illustrated image, commercial visual language and the traditions of art...”

Erosie's goals are to use, confirm, deny or question these fields visually and/or conceptually in the quest to define his own personal visual language, which is a mixture of street art and pop art.

Erosie has exhibited in all major cities in Europe including Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Antwerpen and London.

About the Artist:

Erosie

I try to look for the parallels between, and the nuances of the graffiti-codes, the illus­trated image, commercial visual language and the traditions of art, since all of these fields belong to my back­ground and my present-day interests. I try to use, confirm, deny or question these fields visually and / or con­cep­tu­ally in the quest to define my personal visual language.

Next to that I have no clue what I’m do­ing, but try to get away with it anyway.
